Aviation emissions exceed pre-Covid levels despite pledges, indicating systemic failure to decarbonise. | The aviation industry's failure to reduce emissions despite pledges and technological improvements represents a significant setback for climate action (SDG 13). While the intent to decarbonise is positive, the actual outcome—emissions exceeding pre-pandemic levels—demonstrates a critical gap between promises and action, undermining global climate goals.
